A couple people have pointed out how the new motors on the RC Buggy seem to be very fast. So with the Workshop 3D challenge coming up, I wanted to see how they compare to the Mindstorms mini-motors. To test them, I started by hooking a rotation (...) (22 years ago, 30-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) [snip] (...) Thanks Steve, very useful info. My friend Marco Berti inspected the inside of the new RC motors (he's an expert of small electric motors) and told me that they are of a cheaper kind than the Mindstorms ones: they draw more current (...)

(...) Well, NQC makes use of ALL the facilities of the device that you can reach with the standard firmware - so within those parameters, it's pretty complete. If you want to go so far as to toss out the Lego firmware then LegOS is a good choice - (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I think you are much too negative there, leJOS is just a different tradeoff in the middle between NQC/LEGO firmware and brickOS (formerly legOS): - It's faster than NQC/firmware but slower than brickOS (I've not measured it, but a factor of 10 (...)
